I adore the look of this figure. He just looks so impressive and imposing. The Kirby-esque helmet looks amazing to me. I am not in love with the fact that his cape just sits on him. I find this annoying no Faceless one too. It's an okay solution, but it limits him to just sort of standing there looking imposing because you can only raise his arms so high. It's okay to me.

It's interesting that he's taller! I like that. I also like that he uses the abbed mid-section versus the flat version. Having both hands removable is awesome. I kind of miss the old crossbow design but this turned out well. I can see a red version of the crossbow being included in a weapons back for Hurricane Hordak.

The cape doesn't look as great on the Spector buck as I had hoped with the UK head. The UK head is still fun. I might try to do something with that some day.

Great review as usual Dan- I really liked the humor you injected into this one on top of that! Thanks for showing us the UK head on a Spector body as well!

I'd imagine you could get away with buying an extra cape from someone on the marketplace here and fixing it with an exacto Jon?

Awesome review, Dan! I've been waiting for this ever since we first saw Horde Prime! I've ALWAYS loved Horde Prime!

Love, love, LOVE his UK head! Still really excited Mattel was able to do the dual removable hands...and fix Roboto's shoulders! I think I preferred the simpler looking crossbow, but this one is still nice. I was skeptical about the abs when I first learned of this today in the Q&A answers, but I agree...it looks better. Too bad they made flat abs for the others, but I like this.

I will have to give Hordak's staff to Horde Prime until we get the official one (if they get it in the line somehow). Can't wait for him! I must get two! Three if I can find him cheap somewhere.

Also, Busta Toons purchased the Horde Prime background from Filmation earlier this year without the effects. Behold HORDE PRIME!

LOL @ The Mighty Spector head on Horde Prime's body. I wonder if that was a joke by Scott because of everyone saying they will use TMS' body as a base for the UK Horde Prime? So he did the reverse!

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

Wow, I love him. He's taller than Hordak, two interchangable hands, hidden Hordak cowl underneath the helmet, the Kirby-esque helmet, and another head yet to be seen. Hope they release that staff of his somehow.

How did I know they'd send it to you minus the head?
He looks like a cool figure. Love that he's a bit taller than Hordak. He was a pass for me before seeing him in this video, but now I'm kind of reconsidering it. I thought he looked too plain before, but I think i t's growing on me. Can't wait to see the legit head on him though!

So if you notice, in this pic, he has 2 shades of black, gloss and flat, and many more grey paint apps, and many silver rivet highlights, all gone. The biggest loss is probably the gray on the belt. Of course the ab crunch is no longer flat, it is the muscled ab piece as well. The figure looks almost completely different now. It's all gloss black. It looks more like Darth Vader with some red highlights. It's still cool, but I can't help but feel cheated out of the horsemen's original design. Damn you profit and loss due to economic strife in the world!!!! And of course, the Mattel Design team. Darn you for the ab Crunch. img7844n.jpg

Not sure what the big deal is, given he is going to look like Hordak with big ears. I mean the dude is Hordak's brother, and if you look at all of the other pictures, he has ears sticking out of his helmet, so what is the big secret?

Nice review, but are his shoulders on correctly?

Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
